Today, the Remote Driving Control family saloon car by BYD, Su Rui (name for the Chinese market), goes to market in Beijing. Its world-leading Remote Driving Control technology, TID power assembly (turbo charged + direct injection + dual clutch transmission), intelligent devices and exquisite workmanship have become the highlights that attract most attention.

The Remote Driving Control technology is world leading and highly practical

The core users of the Su Rui are post-80s generation of consumers. They are at a transitional period in their lives. They expect their quality of life to improve dramatically. What they are purchasing is not just a car, but an expected way of life and enjoyment. The Su Rui was launched to satisfy just this sort of demand. It will give users a more intelligent lifestyle and a happier automobile experience. The BYD Su Rui is the only product of its class with Remote Driving Control technology. It means maximum enjoyment for the car owner when starting and stopping the car, all at the tip of a finger.

The Remote Driving Control technology allows many vehicle functions of the Su Rui to be performed remotely only by a key. Within a certain range and with the controller in his or her hands, the driver can make the car start, move forward and back, turn left and right, and travel at a restricted speed all by itself, without the driver even being in the vehicle. It is a perfect solution when the parking space is not wide enough for the driver to exit the car once parked. In windy and rainy weather, drivers can even remotely move the car to his or her side without getting wet. In the winter or summer, when the air conditioning is off, when turning on the motor remotely, you can also automatically start the air conditioning at the same time so that inside the car, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The Remote Driving Control technology won Best Leading Science and Technology in the 2012 Beijing Auto Show. This is further confirmation of automotive innovation by BYD.

BYD's TID gold power assembly in the Su Rui – 1.5TI turbocharged directed injection engine and 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) – are the highlights of the power system, making it a leader amongst this grade of cars. The 1.5TI engine can provide a maximum power output of 113kW/5200rpm and maximum torque of 240Nm. Gear changes are made in less than 0.2 seconds, with 0-100 km/h achieved in just 8.9 seconds.
